March Madness of a Different Sort...
Elise Genevieve was born 9:09 pm March 20th. What a great way to welcome the first day of Spring! There is a lot going on (getting her Bilirubin numbers down, getting her to want to eat, etc) so I won't spend to much time on this. She had some respiratory trouble and a few other issues, but all seems to be getting better. Suffice it to say, I love my wife and my little girl! What an experience, what a tender time. I'm sure Yvonne will update this with more detail, but until then, here is a few pictures of our last few days. Thanks everyone for your love and support, advice, good will, and prayers! We need em, well, not Yvonne, but I know I do!
This is a few hours before baby arrival time. I just ate a JCW's bacon cheeseburger to bring good luck.
Just after she was born:
Just after my sister (who is a PCT) got to wash and check her out. Just a shout out to my awesome sister who helped more than she knows! 
This is my sister Ellen holding her up for the family to see:
My little girl, yea, I love her! Click on the picture to check out her sweet hair. Daddy is proud.
Our family of three:
Welcome Elise!

Oh my gosh her hair is awesome! Whoever did her first hairdo has some mad style! HEE HEE :) I love you guys so much and you three couldn't make a better family. Thank you for letting me be big part of such a precious time in your lives!
Yay! I love her already. And the hair is awesome - too cute! I do think, though, she looks a lot like an Olenik. But, Jim, the hair is all you. Great job guys! Can't wait to introduce the babies...arranged marriage, anyone?
Congratulations!! I am so excited for you!! She is beautiful (and of course, I love the name, and the middle name!). You look great, Yvonne and it sounds like you are handling things like a champ! Good luck in the coming weeks!

Congratulations you guys. I am so excited for you and happy that she is here. What a cutie, and, the hair...it's so cute. I love that style. I could never quite re-create that look at home with my kids. How fun that Jim sister could do all that. What a neat blessing. Good luck with everything. And...she was born on my birthday. It is the best day of the year! Michelle

I left a short message on your facebook wall earlier. I hope you're able to rest and snuggle! Love the name! Did you know Gerry's daughter is Kendra Genevieve? The dads always get to eat while we suck on ice chips! How big is she? Hi Marjean and family in the picture!!
I've tagged you. Go to my blog to see what you need to do. In between feeding and nursing and sleeping. :)
She is amazing! If only I could gert the recipe. I've got the red hair part figured out, it's the girl part I am having trouble with. Love you guys.
CONGRATULATIONS YVONNE!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is beautiful! I am pretty positive that my husband would have had one eye on the baby and one eye on the TV if I were to give birth on the first day of March Madness....so your hubby is to be commended for his full attention. LOL! CONGRATULATIONS!
P.S. Yvonne....could you please e-mail me your mailing address?
Good for you guys! Congrats!!!!
